FOREWORD

Users of various civil engineering codes have been feeling the need for explanatory handbooks and othercompilations based on Indian Standards. The need has been further emphasized in view of the publication ofthe National Building Code of India in 1970 (which has since been revised in 1983) and its implementation.The Expert Group set up in 1972 by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India carriedout in-depth studies in various areas of civil engineering and construction practices. During the preparation ofthe Fifth Five-Year Plan in 1975, the Group was assigned the task of producing a Science and Technology Planfor research, development and extension work in the sectors of housing and construction technology. One ofthe items of this plan was the formulation of design handbooks, explanatory handbooks and design aids basedon the National Building Code and various Indian Standards and other activities in the promotion of the NationalBuilding Code. The Expert Group gave high priority to this item and on the recommendation of the Departmentof Science and Technology, the Planning Commission approved the following two projects which were assignedto the Bureau of Indian Standards (erstwhile Indian Standards Institution) :

a) Development programme on code implementation for building and civil engineering construction, and

b) Typification for industrial buildings.

A Special Committee for Implementation of Science and Technology Projects (SCIP) consisting of expertsconnected with different aspects was set up in 1974 to advise the BIS Directorate General in identifyingthe handbooks and for guiding the development of the work. Under the first project, the Committee hasidentified several subjects for preparing explanatory handbooks/compilations covering appropriate IndianStandards/Codes/Specifications which include the following :

O INTRODUCTION

0.1 Background

A large number of structures that are being constructedat present tend to be wind-sensitive because of theirshapes, slenderness, flexibility, size and lightness.Added to these are the use of a variety of materialswhich are stressed to much higher percentage of theirultimate strength than in earlier days because of betterassurance of the quality of materials. In the socialenvironment that is developing world over, the ancientphilosophy of accepting continuing disasters due towind as ordained by ‘fate’ and Gods is giving place todemands for economical wind resistant designs. Thesefactors have demanded a more realistic, if not, precisedefinition of wind loading. Updating of someInternational Codes of practice, notably the British,Australian, Canadian, American and French has beeneffected fairly frequently over the last two decades andthe present versions incorporate most of the advancesmade in understanding the wind characteristics and itseffect on structures. The new discoveries are such thatit is clear that mere issue of amendments to the earlierwind Code IS 875 : 1964 will not be justifiable. Therecently issued wind code ‘Code of practice for designloads (other than earthquake) for buildings andstructures’ IS 875 (Part 3): 1987 differs in many waysfrom the previous Code first issued in 1964 andattempts not only to rectify the shortfalls of the 1964code but incorporates recent knowledge of windeffects on structures. The height up to which velocitiesare given has now been raised to 500 m and theloadings on as many of the commonly encounteredbuildings and structures, for which there are no otherIndian Standards, have been included. Although notexplicitly stated, the code recognizes the fact that mostof the high winds in India occur due to short durationrotating winds like tropical cyclones along the Coastsor Tornadoes elsewhere, and nearly rectilinear windsof short duration like thunderstorms at many places. Inthis respect, the high wind loading conditions in Indiaare different from those of temperate zone countrieslike Europe and Canada. Much of the random responsetheories, which have been adopted in EuropanA-J.S. orAustralian Codes are based on these ‘fully developedpressure winds’ or ‘pressure wind’ conditions andstrictly cannot be applied in most parts of India. Buttheir judicious use, in the absence of proper theoriesapplicable to cyclones, tornadoes and thunderstormswill give adequate safety margins and this is what thepresent 1S 875 (Part 3) :1987 attempts to do.

In India, success in satisfactory codification of windloading on structures has remained elusive so far. Inmost cases, codification has followed, not precededstructural failures or distress. The wind maps given inthe 1964 version of the code had been prepared mainl yon the basis of extreme value wind data from storms

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

which approached or crossed the Indian coasts during1890 to 1960, together with the wind data availablefrom about 10-12 continuously recording Dynes Pres-sure Anemograph (DPA) stations which existed at thattime, to get an overall picture for the country. However3-cup anemometer readings were not much used in thepreparation of wind maps because much of such datawere synoptic.

The height of DPA instruments varied from 10 m to30 m at different places. Therefore only one extremevalue of wind was given up to 30 m height from groundlevel without any variation in-between. Further, l/10thpower law had been adopted regardless of terrainconditions, for indicating variation of wind speed withheight from 30 m to 150 m, for which there was nosupportive evidence. The code gave two wind pressuremaps (one giving winds of shorter duration <5 minutesand another excludlng winds of shorter duration) andthere was no clear guidance for using either or both ofthem.

With the publication of the recent revised wind code,IS 875 (Part 3) : 1987, an attempt has been made toremove these deficiencies and provide to the Indianstructural engineer adequate guidelines for arriving atmore rational wind loading for design purposes.

0.2 Nature of Wind

0.2.1 Wind means the motion of air in the atmosphere.The response of structures to wind depends on thecharacteristics of the wind. From the point of view ofassessing wind load, it is convenient to divide the windinto two categories: ‘Rotating and Non-rotating’winds. Rotating winds are caused by tropical cyclonesand tornadoes. The wind speeds caused by these mayexceed 200 kti. The duration of such winds at anyIoeation varies from 2 to 5 minutes in the case oftornadoes and thunderstorms and about 3 to 4 days incase of tropical cyclones. Non-rotating winds arecaused by differential pressures and thus move inpreferred direction. These are also called ‘PressureSystem’ winds and when they persist for distances like50-100 km, are termed as ‘Fully developed pressuresystem winds’. The intensity of such winds is usual]ygiven in Beaufort Scale as in Table 1 (other scales forparticular types of winds like cyclones have also beenproposed). Thunderstorms are rectilinear winds ofhigh speed lasting only a few minutes and start as astrong vertical downdraft, from clouds which spreadlaterally on reaching the ground. They last for 2 to5 minutes and wind speed can exceed 200 km/h.

0.2.2 Gradient Winak

Winds are primarily caused by the differences intemperature over the earth’s surface because theintensity of the sun’s radiation received at different

latitudes varies, and land areas heat and cool quickerthan the sea. Ocean currents also affect the temperaturedistribution by transporting heat from one part of earthto another. The differences in temperature give rise tothe gradients of pressure which set the air in motion.Near the earth’s surface, the motion is opposed, andthe wind speed reduced, by the surface friction. At thesurface, the wind speed reduces to zero and then beginsto increase with height, and at some height, known asthe gradient height, the motion may be considered tobe free of the earth’s frictional influence and will attainits ‘gradient velocity’. This velocity depends on thepressure variation at that height in the plane parallel tothe earth’s surface. The gradient height increases withthe roughness of the terrain on the earth’s surface andis taken to vary from about 300 m for flat ground toabout 550 m for very rough terrain, in the Indian anda few other national codes. Although, the gradientheight is confused in many codes to be the same as theedge of the earth’s (planetary) boundary layer, the twoheights are not identical. True gradient height lies wellabove the edge of the earth’s boundary layer height.The Indian Code has adopted a carefully writtendefinition to imply this difference.

0.2.3 Variation of Mean Wind Speed with Height

At the earth’s surface the wind speed is zero and, inconditions of neutral stability, there is a continuousincrease of mean wind speed from the ground to thegradient height. A number of laws for defining thiswind speed profile have been suggested, the mostwidely used of which is the logarithmic profile. Theempirical power law profile is also used in many codes.

0.2.3.1 Logarithmic profile

The logarithmic profile of the variation of mean windspeed with height is given by

V~F = Ilk. lo& zI@ ...(1)

design wind velocity at height z,von Karman’s constant with a numericalvalue of 0.4,height above groundis the surface roughness parameter,the friction velocity defined as ~,the skin friction force on the wall, and

the density of air.

0.2.3.2 Power luw

Another representation for the mean wind speedprofile is the simple power law expression:

VziVR= (?,kR)a ...(2)

whereVR = the speed at a reference height ZR, usually

taken as the standard meteorological heightof 10 m, and

a = a constant for a particular site and terrain.

0.2.4 Nature of Wind Flow Past Bodies

0.2.4.1 The nature of flow of a fluid past a bodyresting on a surface depends on the conditions of thesurface, the shape of the body, its height, velocity offluid flow and many other factors. The flow may be

what is called ‘streamlined’ or ‘laminar’ flow or whatis called ‘turbulent’ or ‘unsteady flow of randomnature’. A streamline is defined as a line drawn througha moving fluid such that the velocity vector istangential to it. The streamlines coincide with the pathsof the particles in steady laminar fluid motion but notwhen the fluid motion is turbulent. In turbulent fluidmotion, the velocity and direction of the particles ofsmall masses of fluid fluctuate in time, mostly in arandom and chaotic manner. In uniform flow eachstreamline has the same constant velocity, but in flowsof viscous fluids near a solid boundary, the velocity atthe boundary is reduced to zero by the effects ofviscosity. Thus the velocity along the streamlinesincreases with distance of the streamline from the solidboundary until a final unretarded velocity is attained.The region of retarded fluid, which is indicated by thebroken lines in Fig. 1 is referred to as the boundarylayer. The flow over the surface within the boundarylayer may be laminar at an upstream position buttransition to turbulent flow may take place at someposition as the flow proceeds downstream along thesurface. This transition takes place over a distancealong the flow direction. If the flow is subject to anadverse gradient, that is a pressure gradient opposingit (such as may be induced by flow over a concavesurface, or other circumstance in which it is forced orallowed to expand), its velocity throughout theboundary layer is further retarded and at some positionalong the surface may be reduced to zero slightlyabove the surface. Then the opposing pressure willdrive the fluid in opposite direction (reversed flow).The boundary layer flow becomes detached from thesurface and large eddies are formed and are dischargedinto the region behind the body called the wake. Theseeddies are usually discharged either randomly or atfairly regular intervals, dependtng on the vebcity ofthe fluid and the dimensions and shape of the body.The energy carried downstream by these eddiesreduces the pressure in the wake and hence the

+ v+

la

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

pressures acting on the body surfaces in contact with‘it, and this reduction of pressure on the body’s leewardside accounts for a large proportion of the drag force.Pressure forces act normal to the surface, andintegrating the components of pressure forces over thewhole surface of the body in-line and perpendicular tothe fluid direction results in alongwind (or drag) andacrosswind (or lift) forces. These are additional to theskin-friction drag, which is caused by the viscosity ofthe fluid and acts tangentially to the surface. The dragresulting from the pressure distribution is referred toas the pressure drag, and is kept to a minimum inshapes used in aircraft wings called aerofoil sections,which are designed to avoid flow separation.

Except for surfaces with pronounced protuberancesthat may fix the positions where the flow separates, thepositions of transition from laminar to turbulent flowand of flow separation from the surface are dependenton the Reynolds number (Re) of the flow,

R== pvl~ = WV ...(3)

where

p and v are, respectively, the dynamic and kinematicviscosities of the fluid and 1is a typical length.

The Reynolds number is a measure of the ratio of theinertia forces (that is, force due to acceleration of fluidparticles) to viscous forces in a fluid.

0.2.5 Flow Patterns

We will first consider flow pasta structure of circularcross-section, since this shape is used in many tall andeven short structures. The flow patterns around acircular cylinder are sketched in Fig. 2, and show themarked influence of Reynolds number (Q. In thesubcritical flow regime Fig. 2(a) the boundary layer

remains laminar up to the points of separation, whichoccur at about 80° from the stagnation point P.Vortices are formed regularly and alternately fromeach side of the cylinder and are shed into the wake.The width of the wake, and hence the value of the dragcoefficient Cd, is greatest in the subcritical flowregime. When the surface is smooth, at about aR, = 2 x 105, the laminar boundary layer becomesturbulent at a forward position on the cylinder surface.The separation point shifts more or less suddenly to anangle of about 120° to 130°. In this critical regimeFig. 2(b) cd falls rapidly as the Reynolds numberincreases to 5 x 105when its lowest value is reached.Thereafter, increase of Re brings the flow into thesupercritical regime Fig. 2(c) with an increase in the

0.2.5.2 Around other bluff bodies

A body is said to be a bluff body if the ratio of itsdimension parallel to the flow to its dimensionperpendicular to the flow does not differ by more thanabout 6 and whose drag coefficient based on thesmaller dimension exceeds about 0.1. Circularcylinder, square and rectangular prisms, etc, areexamples. As an example, the flow patterns around along square-section prism are sketched in Fig. 3. Thepatterns, and hence the values of the drag coefficientCdcan be considered independent of R, if R, is > about104because the positions of the points of separation ofthe flow from the body are fixed by the sharp corners.They are, however, influenced by the turbulence of theapproaching stream, the effect of which may be tocause the flow which has become detached at awindward comer (A) to reattach to the side, untilfinally separated at the leeward comer. Thus inturbulent flows the width of the wake is reducedcompared to that in smooth flow, with a correspondingreduction in the value of Cd.

Figure 4 shows sketches of typical flow patternsaround buildings, most of which can be classed as bluffbodies.

0.2.6 Wind Effects on Structures

Wind effects on structures can be classified as ‘Static’and ‘Dynamic’. Strictly speaking, wind effects areonly dynamic in nature but in most of the codes thesedynamic effects are expressed in terms of an

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

equivalent static load. Static wind effect primarilycauses elastic bending and twisting of structure. Thedynamic effects of wind are either periodic forces suchas due to Vortex Shedding, Flutter, Galloping andOvalling or non-periodic such as turbulent bufetting(see Table 2).

0.3 Shortfalls of the 1%4 Code

0.3.1 The Code, which was published more than 35years ago has provided reasonably good guidance tostructural engineers for the design of most of thesimple structures. In most cases, its provisions havebeen safe, if not conservative.

A look at some of the recent International Codeshowever, clearly indicates the significant advancesmade in wind engineering in the last few years. Notonly is there an improved knowledge of the charac-teristics of wind, but there have been new trends,innovations and requirements of structural design,which demand a more accurate definition of windforces. Viewed from this background, the shortfalls ofIS 875:1964 must be understood in today’s context.In the revision of the Code, an attempt has been madeto overcome the obvious shortfalls and update theinformation to present-day knowledge of windengineering. A serious attempt has been made toensure that the new phenomenon introduced or/anddiscussed in the 1987 revision are free from am-biguities and not significantly beyond the existingknowledge base in the country. Some of the moreimportant shortfalls that had surfaced over the years ofthe Code of 1964, which provided the main impetus tothe revision of the 1964 Code are briefly summarizedbelow:

0.3.2 Wind Zoning

Of interest to structural designers are wind pressuresof short averaging time and gusts with averaging timeof say 3 to 15 seconds. The wind map zoning in the1964 Code represented the state of knowledge of thewind climate and measurements taken earlier oversome 30 years. Several studies have since beenpublished based on increasingly available data. It wasabundantly clear that the earlier wind zoning eitherover-estimated or under-estimated the occurrence ofextreme wind speeds in different parts of the country.Thus the revision of wind map zoning was longoverdue.

0.3.3 Risk Level

In the 1964 Code, no indication was available aboutthe return period. Experiences all over the world, byand large, has favoured designing normal structuresfor a life and return period of 50 years as these criteria,seem to yield safe and economical loads for normalstructures. For wind-sensitive structures and for

structures with post-disaster functions, the returnperiod is often increased to 100 years. As a matter offact, for structures of exceptional importance thereturn period could logically be even higher to reducethe risk levels still further. These issues are furtherdiscussed in 3.3.

0.3.4 Wind Velocity Measurement

The wind instruments used by meteorologists aregenerally calibrated in terms of wind velocity atstandard atmospheric conditions of 15 ‘C and 760 mmmercury pressure and measure the wind velocity withan averaging time of about 3 seconds . The windpressure is evaluated by the equation p = K@, whereK is a constant. The Code of 1964 gives wind pressureand these were arrived at from the velocities by usinga value of K which is higher by 25 percent as comparedto other International Codes.

0.3.5 Wind Variation with Height and Terrain

The variation of wind velocity with height andcharacter of surrounding terrain has importantimplications in structural design. The 1964 Codespecified constant pressure up to a height of 30 m andthereafter, a variation corresponding to the followingequation was given:

Pz = P30 (zj30)a ...(4)

wherePyj =

z=

a=

basic wind pressure which is constant up toheight of 30 m;height in m above ground of point underconsideration; andpower index, with a value of 0.2.

Whenever such power laws are used, the generallyaccepted norm in International Codes is to take aconstant velocity up to 10 m height and thereafter avariation given by the following equation to obtain thevelocity profile:

Vz = v~~(Z/lo)a ...(5)

whereV,() =z =

a=

velocity at 10 m above ground;height in m of point above ground underconsideration; andpower law index whose value varies from0.07 to 0.35 depending upon the terrain andaveraging time; larger indices correspond toincreasing roughness of terrain and largeraveraging times.

In recent times, the logarithmic law is being used moreoften, mainly due to its better theoretical backing.Considering that the power law index of IS 875:1964was applicable to pressures, the corresponding indexfor velocity would be 0.1. While structures of low

7

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

height may not be affected significantly by the lowvalue of the power index, the 1964 Code would yieldpressures which are under-estimates in the upperregions of tall structures where more precise values areneeded. The Code did not indicate variations withterrain roughness, and was silent about wind pressuresabove 150 m from ground. With tall structures alreadyreaching heights of 300 m in the country and still tallerstructures on the drawing board, the short falls ofIS 875 : 1964 became particularly evident for tallstructures.

0.3.6 Dynamic Analysis

For tall, long span and slender structures a ‘dynamicanalysis’ of the structure is essential. Wind gustscause fluctuating forces on the structure which inducelarge dynamic motions, including oscillations. Theseverity of the dynamic motions and/or wind-inducedoscillations depends on the natural frequency ofvibration and the damping of the structure. Themotions are induced in both ‘along-wind’ direction aswell as ‘across-wind’ direction. The ‘along-wind’response of the structure is accounted for by amagnification factor (often called the ‘gust factor’ )applied to the static or direct forces. The ‘across-wind’response requires a separate dynamic analysis. The1964 Code did not give any guidance on these aspectsof structural design of tall structures.

0.3.7 Size of Structure

The 1964 Code did not indicate any correlationbetween the structure size and wind loading. Themagnitude of the load imparted on a structure by a gustdepends, to a significant extent, on the size of thestructure. The reason is that the spatial extent of a gustof wind in any directions, having the same velocity asthat specified in the Code is small-being about 25 m to150 m at any instant of time. Thus, a large structurewill not experience the highest wind specified at allpoints on it at the same instant and hence the averagetotal load on the structure will be less than the valueobtained by assuming the highest specified wind overits entire extent. Allowance for this needs to be made,although locally the load will be that due to the highestwind.

0.3.8 Shape of Structure

Structures can be of many shapes, particularly whenwe combine the whole gamut of possibilities inconcrete and structural steel. The ‘direct or static’ windforce on a structure is given by the equation F = SAP,where S is the shape facto~ A is the projected area inthe plane perpendicular to the wind direction; and P isthe wind pressure. The 1964 Code gave values of theshape factor for the basic shapes (circular, octagon andsquare), but this information needed to be extended toother shapes for various wind directions. For steelstructures of different plan shapes, shielding

Page 16: Is 875   wind load

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

configurations and solidlty ratios, no guidance wasavai Iable. Therefore it became essential for thedesigner to either consult other International Codes ortake advice from specialists.

0.3.9 Pressure Coefficients

All over the world, the unsatisfactory performance ofrelatively light weight low rise buildings such as thethatched houses in rural India or houses with sheetroofing, led to updating of pressure coefficients(internal and external) for various configurations ofbuildings, wall openings and wind directions.Additionally, a need was felt to define higher localexternal negative coefficients at certain locations tocater to concentrations near edges of walls and roofs,where the failures are primarily initiated. It isrecognized that considerable research is still needed inthis area.

2 TERMINOLOGY

2.1 Angle of Attack [3.1.1]

Angle between the direction of wind and the referenceaxis is known as the angle of attack. As shown inFig. 5(a), angle %’ is angle of attack, between thedirection of wind and reference axis (horizontal line).

2.2 Breadth [3.1.2]

Horizontal dimension of the building measured normalto the direction of wind, is termed as the breadth of thestructure. As shown in Fig. 5(b), breadth =AB for windalong the longitudinal reference axis and BK for windperpendicular to it. For other wind directions, such asat angle ’0’, it is the maximum width seen along thewind such as the projection of AB’ on a planeperpendicular to the direction of wind. In Fig. 5(b),this is AE.

2.3 Depth [3.1.3]

Horizontal dimension of the building measured in thedirection of wind is the depth of the building. As shownin Fig. 5(b), depth = AA’for wind along the referenceaxis and BA for wind perpendicular to the referenceaxis. For other wind directions, such as at angle ‘f3’,itis the maximum length from the first point on the bodywhich meets the wind to the point where a line fromthis point along-wind meets a boundary of the bodysuch as BD.

2.4 Developed Height [3.1.4]

The velocity increases up to certain height from theground when wind passes from one terrain categoryto another terrain category. After covering a certaindistance in the new terrain, the velocity profile doesnot change any more and is said to be fully developed.Before becoming fully developed, the velocity profilewill have a mixed character of the fully developedprofiles of the upstream and downstream terrains. Inthis intermediate region, the height up to which thevelocity profile changes in the new terrain is known asthe Developed Height. [Table 3] gives the vahtes of theDeveloped Height as a function of the distance for thefour terrain categories. Methodology for estimation ofthe developed height and for using the same has beenillustrated in the solved Examples given in 3.5.

2.5 Effective Frontal Area [3.1.5]

As given in Fig. 5(a) for angle of attack ’6’ = O,effective frontal area is ABCD, which is the projectedarea of the structure normal to the direction of thewind. For ‘til’not equal to zero, the frontal area isACEF.

2.6 Element Surface Area [3.1.6]

In Fig. 5(a), for angle of attack ‘f3’= Oat height z, areaPQRS represents the element surface area of heightAz. In the element surface area pressure/forcecoefficients are to be taken constant.

2.7 Force and Moment Coefficients [3.1.7]

When a structure is immersed in flowing fluid like air,a force is exerted on it which depends on the nature offlow, type of structure and is expressed in terms ofnon-dimensional coefficient. This non-dimensionalcoefficient is termed as force-coefficient.

There can be components of force in the directionsother than the direction of wind. The force componentalong the direction of wind is called drag force (now-a-days, more frequently as along-wind force) and theforce components in the other normal directions aretermed as lift force (or across-wind force) and sideforce (or transverse force). Likewise, the momentcoefficient tending to bend the structure in the direc-tion of wind is called the over turning moment, thecoefficient tending to twist it about a vertical axis astorque and the coefficient in the transverse direction as‘sideways’ moment coefficient.

2.8 Ground Roughness [3.1.8]

The obstructions like trees, buildings, structures, etc,on ground are termed as ground roughness. The groundroughness tends to retard the flow near ground becauseof momentum transfer between layers of wind. Thevelocity profile of wind is dependent on the groundroughness. Although the nature of ground roughnesson the surface of the earth varies from flat and verysmooth to very rough as in the city centres with tallbuildings, it has been found convenient and adequateto categorize them into four fairly distinct categories.

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

2.9 Gradient Height [3.1.9]

When wind moves over large distances in a particularterrain, the velocity becomes constant above a certainheight. The height above which the velocity is foundto be constant and is not influenced by surface frictionis called the Gradient Height. Implicitly, the Codeidentifies the gradient height as the height of theplanetary boundary Iayev the wording of the definitionis obviously very carefully done, since themeteorologists’ identify the gradient height as one atwhich there is a balance of Coriolis and pressureforces. The meteorologists’ definition of gradientheight puts it well above the edge of the atmosphericboundary layer. Thus the definition of gradient heightused in the Code is not the same as the gradient heightas understood by the meteorologists.

2.10 Pressure Coefficient [3.1.9]

The pressure exerted by wind at a point on the structurewil I be different from the pressure of wind farupstream of the structure, called ‘free stream staticpressure’. The ratio of the difference of the pressureat a point on the structure and static p~ssum of theincident wind to the design wind pressure is termed asPressure Coefficient.

The concept of pressure coefficient is similar to that offorce coefficient. The pressure coefficient at a pointmultiplied by design wind pressure yields the pressureat that point.

The pressure coefficient may vary with height orwidth. The pressure acting towards the surface ofstructure is to be taken as positive and pressure actingaway from the surface of structure is to be taken asnegative.

2.11 Suction [3.1.9]

Atsomepoints on anybody, pressure may fall belowatmospheric pressure and is called ‘suction’. Suctionis the pressure acting away from the surface ofstructure; negative pressure is the same as suctionpressure.

2.12 Solidity Ratio ‘$’ [3.1.9]

In general, solidity ratio is the ratio of the sum of allthe areas’ of each element of a framed structurenormal to the wind to the area of the boundaryenclosing the structure. Care must, however, be takenin applying “this definition. In a plane frame, theboundary area is to be taken as that of the main frameonly and the areas of appurtenances which are withinthe boundary [as AntennaAl, or ladderLl, in Fig. 6(a)]treated as part of the element of the frame. However,the area of the antenna or an appurtenance outside theboundary such as the AntennaA2 or lightening arrester

L~ in Fig. 6(a) should not be taken into account eitheras part of the enclosed boundary or that of the framein computing the solidity ratio. The loads on suchappurtenances outside the enclosed boundary must beseparately estimated and added to the load on the frameat the appropriate point. In Fig. 6(a), the area enclosedby ABCD k the boundary area and the area of shadedelements to be considered for estimating the solidityratio is indicated. Similar principles apply in the caseof space frames. In case of cross bracings, theprojected area as seen from windward face shall betaken and added to other areas (shown shaded) toarrive at the total solidity ratio. If there areappurtenances within the enclosed volume (ABCDA’B’C’D’) [see Fig. 6(b)(i)], then their area should beprojected on the nearest windward frame forestimating the frame solidity ratio Fig. 6(b)(ii). Thesolidity ratio of each frame should be found andappropriate shielding factor applied.

2.13 Fetch Length [3.1.9]

The distance over which wind has moved in aparticular terrain category before approaching thestructure is known as the Fetch Length. The velocityprofile of wind changes continuously over the fetchlength before stabilizing at the variation given in[Table 2]. The distance required for a stab]: profile tobe formed is given in [Table 3]. Distance AB in Fig. 7is the fetch length.

2.14 Terrain Category [3.1.9]

Buildings, vegetation, walls, trees and waves at seacontribute to the surface roughness and thus influencethe local characteristics to which a structtue may beexposed. The average ground roughness of large areasis termed as Terrain Category. Based on the averageheight of the ground roughness four representativeterrain categories having fully developed velocityprofiles are suggested [5.3.2] from the equivalent of acalm sea to inner city area dominated by tall buildings.

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

Terrain category 1 (TC- 1) applies to exposed openterrain with few or no obstructions and in which theaverage height of objects surroundings the structure isless than 1.5 m. Category 2 (TC-2) refers to openterrain with well scattered obstructions having heightsgenerally between 1.5 to 10m while Category 3 (TC-3)applies to terrain with numerous closely spacedobstructions having size of buildings/structures up to10 m in height with or without a few isolated tallstructures. Terrain Category 4 (TC-4) means terrainwith numerous large high closely spaced obstructions.However, when fetch lengths are small, the velocityprofile is not fully developed and suitable velocityprofile with changes in terrain categories beconsidered [5.3.2.4].

2.15 Velocity profile [3.1.9]

The variation of wind speed with height is called theVelocity Profile. The velocity profile is dependent onthe terrain category, zonal velocity and the fetchlength. Figure 8 shows the velocity profile in the fourterrain categories.

2.16 Topography [3.1.9]

Geographical features such as mountains, hills,escarpments, etc, of an area is known as theTopography of the area in which the structure is builtand this affects the wind speed on and downstream ofthese features.

3 WIND SPEED AND PRESSURE [5]

3.1 Basic Wind Speed [5.2]

In 1960, there existed about 10-12 continuouslyrecording DPA stations in the country compared toabout 50 or so such stations at present. The instrumentscontinuously record wind speed on Y-axis with timeon X-axis and in addition, record the direction of windspeed. Most of these stations are located on the coastalbelt.

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

The revised wind map is based mainly on the data fromthe anemograph records of 47 DPA stations for periodsfrom 1948 to 1983. All these wind data have beenpublished in India Meteorological Department publi-cations, ‘Indian Weather Review, Annual SummaryPart-A’ published annually from 1948 onwards. Thebasic approach followed for preparing the wind mapis by extracting wind velocities, since analysis of stmc-tures in many cases depends on wind speed directlyand also much of the available data on effects of terrainis in terms of wind speed. The use of wind speeds forstatistical analysis is also in line with the internatio-nallyaccepted practice. The peak values of annualmaximum wind speeds (wind gustiness) for each of the47 stations formed the data for statistical analysis toobtain the extreme wind speeds. In the statisticalanalysis of all the annual peaks at each of the above 47stations in India, IMD used Fisher-Tippet Type-I(Gumbal) distribution. Before analyzing, recordedvalues were reduced to values at 10 m height aboveground for the normalized terrain Category 2. Sincethe data for analyses came from DPA which has anaveraging time of about 3 seconds, analysis gives gustvelocity values averaged over 3 seconds. These valuesfor 50 year return period and 50 year structure life havebeen given in [Fig. 1] for terrain Category 2. In addi-tion to the use of data available from 47 DPA stationsup to 1983, the following effects have been suitablyincorporated in the preparation of the basic windvelocity map:

Orography — Orography has been considered in thezoning of wind velocity map since it was observed thatcontinuous hills and mountains spread over a largearea affect wind speed, for example regions demar-cated by Vindhya mountains. The data spread seemsto match the orography of the country.

Palghat Gap — Extreme winds observed during mon-soon season over the southern peninsula due to thefunneling effect of Palghat gap (reported wind speedsbeing up to 160 km/h) has been considered.

500t I

Cyclonic Storms — Cyclonic storms on east and westcoasts are more intense over the sea than on the land.West coast storms are less intense except in NorthernSourashtra compared to east coast storms. Reports offailures of structures at Sriharikota, Gujarat coast,Paradeep and other places have been taken into ac-count for evolving the reference speed in these regions.Storm speeds begin to decrease once they cross thecoast and are normally taken to be effective up to adistance of about 60 km inland after striking the coast.However, in Bengal coast its effect has been observedup to 110 km inland. A region along the sea coastextending up to a distance of 60 km (and 110 km alongBengal coast) from the nearest coast line has beenidentified separately from the main land for windzoning. In addition, it has also been decided to give thenumber of cyclones that have struck different sectionsof east and west coasts in the basic wind map for moresophisticated design load estimation.

Dust Storms — Dust storms associated with high localwind speeds which are short lived and are particularlyintense over Rajasthan plains have been considered.Also Norwesters or Kal Baisaki winds over NorthEastern plains during summer months have been ac-counted for. It has been suggested that the influence ofwind speed off the coast up to a distance of about200 km maybe taken as 1.15 times the value on thenearest coast in the absence of definite wind data [5.5]as in Australia. The occurrence of a tornado is possiblein virtually any part of India. They are particularlymore severe in Northern parts of India. The recordednumber of these tornadoes is too small to assign anyfrequency. The devastation caused by a tornado is dueto exceptionally high winds about its periphery and thesudden reduction in atmospheric pressure at its centreresulting in a huge outward pressure on the elementsof the structure. The regional basic wind speeds do notinclude any allowance for tornadoes directly. It is notthe usual practice to allow for the effect of tornadoesunless special requirements are called for as in the caseof important structures such as satellite communica-

tion towers. The wind speed can now be obtained upto 500 m height above the ground surface. Design windspeed up to 10 m height from mean ground level istaken to be constant. Although not stated in the Code,turbulence level above 500 m is unlikely to be morethan 6 percent. Basic wind speed map of India has beenpresented in the Code. The reference wind speed allover the country has been found to fall into six rangesof basic wind speeds, varying from 33 m/s to 55 ndsfor a 50 year return period and a probability of ex-ceedence level of 63 percent. The indicated wind speedcharacteristics are in line with other InternationalCodes, namely short duration gusts averaged over atime interval of about 3 seconds applicable to 10 mheight in ‘open’ terrain. The Code recognizes thatthere is not enough meteorological data to drawisotachs (lines joining places of equal velocity) on thewind map of India as seems to be the practice in someother International Codes.

The revised map, when compared to that of the earlierCode shows that in general, in the following areas ofthe country, the wind velocity was previously under-estimated:

— Nollh : North-eastern part of Jammu andKashmir

— West: Coastal areas of Kutch in Gujarat— East: Tripura and Mizoram

The wind map indicates updated supplementary infor-mation (1877 to 1982) relating to the total number ofcyclonic storms. Occasionally, a user comes across asituation where the wind speed at a location on theboundary between two zones has to be obtained. Iflocal wind data is not available, it is recommended thatthe higher speed of the adjacent zones be used fordesign.

3.2 Design Wind Speed [5.3]

The design wind speed is dependent on thegeographical basic wind speed, return period, heightabove ground, structure size and local topography. Theformat of the equation of design wind speed adoptedin the new Code is as follows:

Vz = Vb k, kz k~ ...(6)

whereV. = design wind speed at height z in mls,Vh = basic wind speed of the wind zone,k, = risk coefficient,kz = terrain, height and structure size factor, andk~ = local topography factor.

3.3 Risk Coefficient [5.3.1]

There is sometimes confusion as to the meaning ofreturn period and risk level. Return period (Tin years)is the reciprocal of the probability that a given windspeed will be exceeded at least once in any one year.The word, ‘period’ sometimes causes confusion. ‘Risk

SP64(S&T) :2001

level’, on the other hand means the probability that agiven wind speed will be exceeded in a certain numberof successive years which is usually the life of thestructure. The coefficient kl is identified in the Codefor return periods of 5,25,50 and 100 years alongwithrecommendations regarding ‘mean probable designlife of structures’ of various types [Table 1]. Forgeneral buildings and structures of permanent nature,the return periods have been recommended to be 50years and a life of 50 years for the structure. For alltemporary structures including temporary boundarywalls, it is recommended that a life of 5 years beassumed and the appropriate multiplier kl as given in[Table 1] be used. The normal value of risk levelrecommended is 0.63 for structures whose lifeexpectancy is equal to the return period. The factor klhas been used to assess the effect of different risklevels.

At first sight, a risk level of 0.63, which is the prob-ability that the design wind speed is exceeded once inthe life of say N years of the structure under thecondition that the probability of the exceedence of thedesign wind in any one year is l/N, seems rather high.However experience in many parts of the world hasshown that this amount of risk can be taken for normalstructures. Although not given in the Code, the risklevel can be found from the formula

r=l–(1–l/T)~ ...(7)

whereN = desired life of the structure in years,T = return period in years, andr = risk level.

The designer or owner must decide the amount of risk,he is prepared to take. Let us take one example.

Example. Only 10% risk acceptable, life 30

years, in zone with wind speed of 39 rids,Categoq 2, size of structure 30 m. To find the designwind speed.

From Eqn (7), we get

UT = 1-( l-r)l’N= 3.5x 10-3

That is, this is the acceptable probability that theregional wind speed of 39 rmlswill be exceeded in anyone year during the 30 year life of the structure for theaccepted risk. Using the above values of risk level, lifeof structure and the quantities A and B correspondingto 39 m/s wind speed in [Table 1], one obtainskl = 1.165.

Hence, the regional basic wind speed to be used forthis structure should be 1.165 x 39 = 45.44 rids. Useof Eqn. (7) is necessary if the return period T only isknown from analysis of wind data and risk level has tobe assessed.

3.4 Terrain, Height and Structure Size (kz factor)[5.3.2]

The coefficient k2 has been indicated at differentheights in a convenient tabular form [Table 2] whichidentifies four terrain categories (1, 2,3 or 4) and threeclasses (that is, sizes) of structures (A, B or C). The k2factors are valid only up to the height at which they arespecified. For example, the factor 1.17 in TC-2, classA structure applies only up to 50 m height. As statedin [Note 2 of Table 2], values between 1.12 and 1.17may be linearly interpolated between heights of 40 mand 50 m or a constant value of 1.17 (the higher one)may be used between 40 m and 50 m. The coefficientk2 has different values [Table 33] when dealing withwind speeds averaged over 1 hour, which are requiredfor evaluating dynamic effects according to certaintheories.

3.5 Fetch and Developed Height Relationship[5.3.2.4]

The revised Code had added the concept of fetchlength and developed height for considering the effectof change of terrain category. In the followingexamples the methodology for considering this effectis explained with the help of illustrations.

Example 1. A framed tower structure inside a bigtown at a distance of 0.5 km from the edge of the town;the terrain outside the town isJat open, the structuresinside the town are closely spaced and of heights up to

10 m. Height of the tower 55 m. Tofind the design windspeeds.

Solution: Here, one can take the terrain outside thetown as of category 1 (TC- 1) and the terrain inside thetown to be of category 3 (TC-3). This problem is a caseof wind moving from a lower terrain catego~ to ahigher terrain category. Figure 9 gives a sketch of theconfiguration.

In the above sketch,AA is the edge of TC-1profile (say,where the factor as per [Table 2] is 1.35), B1B2is theapproach terrain of TC- 1 and B2B3is the town centreterrain of TC-3 [5.3.2.1(c)]. The tower is located at C,a distance of 0.5 km from the beginning of the town atB2. In order to apply [5.3.2.3], one proceeds as follows:

At C draw the profile of multipliers as per [Table 2,Class C] (since the height of the structure is more than50 m), corresponding to both the terrain categories 1and 3. Thus CDH corresponds to TC- 1 and CEFG toTC-3. [5.3.2.4] allows one to use two options. As per[5.3.2.4 (b) (i)], one can use the multipliers of thelowest terrain category, which in this case is TC-1, thatis, CDHG. The second possibility is to use the proce-dure of [Appendix B]. To use the procedure of[Appendix B], one first notes the height up to whichthe TC-3 profile has penetrated in the vertical directionin the terrain in which the structure is located. In thiscase, [Table 3] indicates that TC-3 has penetrated up

to a height of 35 m at a distance of 0.5 km from B2. ‘aI $Hence one takes the multiplier of TC-3 [Class C of ,,

Example 2. A chimney of height 150 m in opencountry at a distance of 10 km from clusters of scat-teredsmall villages all round with houses of height lessthan 10 m. Tofind the wind speed multiplier profile.

Solution: Since the terrain up to a distance of 10.0 kmfrom the chimney is open, one may assume that theterrain is of category 1 up to 10 km from the chimney.In view of the location of clusters of small villagesbeyond 10 km, one can consider the approachingprofile to chimney to be TC-2 from beyond 10.0 kmand TC- 1 for a distance of 10 km from the chimney.Figure 10 gives the sketch of the configuration. It maybe observed that in this problem, the wind flows froma higher terrain category to a lower terrain category. InFig. 10,AAis the edge of the TC-2 profile (say the lineof multiplier 1.35), B1B2is the approach terrain TC-2and B2B3the TC- 1 in which the chimney is located.The chimney is located at C, which is located at adistance of 10 km from the beginning of TC- 1,namelyB2. To obtain the appropriate multipliers, one canproceed as follows:

i) Assume that TC- 1multiplier applies for theentire height, as per [5.3.2.4 (b) (i)]

ii) Use the procedure of [Appendix B] as follows

To use the procedure of [Appendix B], draw the varia-tion of the multipliers of TC-2 and TC-1 at C withheight. These are mpectively CEFG and CDH. From~able 31of the Code,it is observed that the profile ofTC-1 penetrates up to a height of 80 m, in a distance

.

of 10 km. Thus one takes the TC- 1 multipliers of ClassC (since the maximum chimney dimension exceeds 50m) up to a height of 80 m. This multiplier has aninterpolated value of 1.17 at a height of 80 m. Abovethis height, one has to take the multipliers as per TC-2,Class C. But the multiplier as per TC-2, Class C has avalue of 1.17 only at a height of 100 m as per [Table2]. The recommendation of [Appendix B] is to take thesame value of the multiplier as per the terrain oflocation (that is TC-1) up to the height of the upstreamhigher terrain category at which the same multiplier isfound as per [Table 2] of the Code. In this case, therecommendation implies that the multiplier 1.17 at 80m height of TC- 1 must be continued up to a height of100 m, above which only the TC-2 multipliers of ClassC are to be used. Table 4 gives the final recommendedmultipliers.

Example 3. A TV tower of height 300 m located in the

centre of a city with tall buildings (greater than 50 min height) up to a height of 3 km from it, closely builthouses of up to 10 m height from 3 km to 10 km andjlat terrain beyond for 15 km at which sea coast is

encountered. Wind is from the sea. To find the windspeed multipliers.

Solution: This k a problem in which wind passesthrough four terrains before reaching the structure ofinterest. At high winds, the sea can be taken asequivalent to TC-2 due to the large waves that aregenerated. In this problem, TC-2 is followed by TC-1for 15 km and this is followed bf TC-3 for 10 km witha final terrain category 4 for 3 km. The configurationis sketched in Fig. 11 where the multiplier profiles ofTC- 1 to TC-4 are shown at the location of the TVtower. As before, one can choose the simpler methodof [5.3.2.4 (b) (i)] and use the multipliers of TC- 1 forthe entire height. To use the alternate method given in[Appendix B], one draws first the developing profilesfrom the beginning of each terrain [Table 3].

At D, one”encounters TC-3beginning at 1$ up to a height of 250 m.

3.7 Design Whd Pressure [5.4]

One of the important modifications in the Code relatesto the veloeity-pressure relationship. In the earlierversion of the Code, the pressure was over-estimatedby about 25 percent for a given wind velocity. Thecorrect equation given now reads as follows:

pz = 0.6 VZ2 ...(8)

where

Pz = design wind pressure at height z in N/m2, andVZ = design wind speed at height z in mh.

Strictly speaking, the coefficient 0.6 is only the mostprobable average for the atmospheric conditionsprevailing in India during the whole year. A value of0.6125 would be more appropriate in temperate zonesabove latitude of about 33°. The wind effects in termsof static loading on the structure are determined fromdesign pressures as indicated in 4. A comparison ofwind pressures as per new and 1964 Code is given inthe following example.

Example. Estimation of design wind pressure for abuilding as per 1S 875:1964 and IS 875 (Part 3): 1987.

Given:A buildingof length35.0q width 15.0m, height15.0mLife of structure 25 yearsTermincategory 3Location:Delhi

Page 26: Is 875   wind load

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

Topography: Almost flat

Solution:

Previous code [1S875: 1964], [Fig. 1A] gives pz=150kgf/m2.

Present code [1S875 (Part 3) : 1987] :

Design wind speed VZ = Vb.kl.kz.ks

Vb = 47.0 m/s [Fig. 1]

kl = 0.90 [Table 1, N = 25 years]

Since greatest horizontal dimension of 35 m is between20 m and 50 m

k2 = 0.88 [Table 2, Class B] at 10.0 m height

k~ = 1.00

Hence Vlo = 47.0 x 0.90x 0.88x 1.0= 37.22 nds

Design pressure at 10 m height = 0.6 V;

= 831.37 N/m2= 84.83 kgf/m2

(g= 9.80 m/s2 in most parts of India)

Let the life of the structure be increased to 50 years[kl=l .0, Table 1], then

plo = 0.6 [47.0x 1.0x 0.88x 1.0]2 = 1026.39 N/m2= 104.73 kgf/m2

If the structure is located in a terrain category 2,

then the value of k2 = 0.98 andPll) = 0.6 [(47.0)(1.00)(0.98)(1.00)]2

= 1272.91 N/m2= 129.89 kgf/m2

Let us now consider a situation where the same struc-ture is situated at Madras, Calcutta, Roorkee, Bombay,Bangalore and Darbhanga. The design wind pressurewill be as given in Table 6, for different possible terrainconditions. From Table 6, it is observed that the designwind pressure is strongly affected by the considerationof the expected life of the structure and terraincategory. It is observed that the earlier Code generallyover estimated the wind load in city centres. One canalso work out that the earlier Code generally underes-

, timated the design wind load, if either the expected lifeor ‘return period’ is large (for example, seethe case forBombay in Table 6). This is particularly true forregions where the design pressures, according to the1964 Code are low.

— The building/structure taken as a whole;

The wind loading is given in terms of pressure coeffi-cients CP and force coefficients Cf and can be deter-mined as follows:

4.2 Pressure Coeftlcients [6.2]

Pressure coefficients are applicable to structuralelements like walls and roofs as well as to the designof cladding. The calculation process implies thealgebraic addition of Cw and C~i to obtain the finalwind loading by the use of Eqn. (10). The Codeindicates both these coefficients separately for a widevariety of situations generally encountered in practice.

4.2.1 External Pressure Coefficient CF [6.2.21

External pressure coefficient depends on wind direc-tion, structure configuration in plan, its height versus

18

I

Page 27: Is 875   wind load

.’

width ratio and, characteristics of roof and its shape.[Tables 4 to 22] are devoted exclusively to the deter-mination of CPVFor the specific design considerationsrelating to cladding, local coefficients have beenseparately shown delineating the areas at the edges ofwalls and roofs where high concentration of negativepressure is often found to exist.

4.2.1.1 External pressures

It deals with a large number of cases of gross forcecoefficients and pressures. Should pmssums in[Table 4] be applied at each level in the case of a tallbuilding, with velocity variation as in [Table 2]. Theanswer, is that the Code implies that the calculationshould be carried out for each level as if the air load atthat level is independent of that at an adjacent (or loweror higher) level. It is puzzling to note a positive pres-sure coefficient of 1.25 in [6.2.2.T, when one knowsthat it cannot exceed +1.0. The reason is that since thepressure coefficients on the small overhanging posi-tions are not given but are known to be more stronglynegative on top than the negative pressures on the non-overhanging portions, these numbers are expected tocompensate for the projected lower pressures on thetop of overhanging portion. Although not stated in theCode, it is desirable to take the same values in [6.2.2.Ton the vertical walls above and below the overhangingportion, over a height equal to half the projectinglength of the overhang; if no other guideline is avail-able.

4.2.2 Internal Pressure Coefficient CPi[6.2.3]

Internal pressure coefficients are largely dependent onthe percentage of openings in the walls and theirlocation with reference to wind direction. The Codeindicates C~i for a range of values with a possiblemaximum (that is positive pressure) and a possibleminimum (that is negative pressure) with the provisionthat both the extreme values would have to beexamined to evaluate critical loading on the concernedmember. Three cases have been specifically indicatedfor arriving at C~i:

openings up to 5 percent of wall area,

openings from 5 percent to 20 percent of wallarea, and

openings larger than 20 percent of wall area(including buildings with one side open).

The last case is of particular interest in determiningwind loading for structures such as aircraft hangerswhich have wide full height openable doors formingone side of the enclosure [Fig. 3].

sP64(s&T):2001

4.2.2.1 Internal pressures [6.2.3]

The internal pressures given in [6.2.3] have beendeliberately specified slightly higher (negatively) thanthe codes of temperate countries to reflect the fact thatas a tropical country, the size of windows/doors arelarger in India and the normal tendency is to keep themopen as much as possible.

4.3 Force Coefficients [6.3]

Force coefficients applicable to the buildinghmctureas a whole as well as to structural frameworks whichare temporarily or permanently unclad are also givenin [6]. For evaluating force coeftlcients for the cladbuildinghtmcture as a whole, the Code gives guidancefor a variety of plan shapes and height to breadth ratios[Table 23]. It also indicates extra forces occurring dueto ‘frictional drag’ on the walls and roofs of cladbuildings [6.3.1]. The diameter D to be considered forrough surface when applying [6S.2.2] is the valueexcluding the height of the roughness, that is excludingthe height of flutings or similar ‘regular’ roughnessesor excluding average height of random roughness likesand particles. This definition of D is valid only ifD/E >100 (where Eis the average height of the surfaceroughness). For still larger roughnesses, specialistsadvice should be sought.

Force coefficients on unclad buildingshtructures,frameworks and their individual members, are com-prehensively covered in [6.3.3.3 to 6.3.3.6]. Theframeworks included are those that are single (that isisolated), multiple or in the form of lattice towers. Theeffects of ‘shielding’ in parallel multiple frames andthe effect of different solidity ratios have been incor-porated along with global force coefficients for latticetowers Uables 28 to 32]. Force coetllcients for in-dividual members of various structural shapes andwires/cables have been separately indicated [Tables 26and 27].

4.3.1 Individual Members [633.2]

The force coefficient of rectangular members given in[Fig. 4] reflect the recent discovery that the aspect ratioof the nxtangle affects the total force coefficient andpeaks at an aspect ratio of about 2/3. Slight discrepan-cies will be observed between the gross value in[Fig. 4] and the summed up values in [Table 4], forsmaller height to width ratios and the value for thesquare in [Table 26]. Such seeming contradictions willbe observed in several international codes also andreflect, mainly the continuation of values taken fromearlier codes. The last case in Pable 4], has reconciledthe value in [Fig. 4] and that in the last sketch of[Table 4], hlw26.

SP64(S&T):2001

In the other cases it is recommended that the negativepressure behind the body be further reduced to bringthe total force to the value in [Fig. 4]. For example letus consider the case 1/2 c hAvS 312,312< Uw c 4 and8 = 0° in [Table 4 (item 4)] with a = 2, b = 8 and h= 3. The total force in the direction of wind withpressure coefficient of +0.7 on faceA and -0.3 on faceB is 1.0. ‘a’ in [Fig. 4] is ‘w’ of [Table 4], ‘b’ in [Fig.4] is ’1’of [Table 4] and ‘h’ has the same meaning inboth. Hence

hJw= Ida = [h/b. blaJ

Therefore,

hlb = hlw. alb

llw = bla

For hlw = 3/2 and llw = 4 of [Table 4] we have to lookup Wb = 3/8, db = 0.25 in [Fig. 4B] which gives Cf =1.18, while adding the pressures on faces A and B in[Table 4] yields Cf = 1.0. The recommendation is notto change the pressure on the front face A (they areusually more reliable and in any case cannot exceed1.0), but decrease the pressure on the back face from-0.3 to -0.48. The pressures on the sides as well as atthe corners need not be changed.

4.3.2 Force Coefficient for Framed Structures[6.3.3.3 and 6.3.3.4]

The force coefficients for framed structures given in[6.3.3.3] and [6.3.3.4] reflect the result of data whichbecame available around 1980. A few designers haveencountered a condition (in unusual structures), wherethey found that the sum of the total force on more thanthree frames was more than that on a solid body of thesame outer geometry. This is correct and has to beapplied as such if all the frames are finally mounted ona single large structure. In some cases, the designershave found it more economical to have a fully cladstructure with an internal braced framework.

5 DYNAMIC EFFECTS [7]

The Code incorporates a new section relating todynamic effects, recognizing the advent of a largenumber of tall, flexible and slender structures in thecountry’s sky-line. Structures which require investiga-tion under this section of the Code are the following:

— those with height to minimum lateral dimen-sion ratio of more than 5.0.

— structures with a first mode natural frequencyof less than 1.0 Hz.

Guidelines are given in the Code for the approximatedetermination of natural frequency of multistoreyedbuildings and the designer is cautioned regarding cer-tain structural responses such as cross-wind motions,interferences of upwind obstructions, galloping, flutterand ovalling. The Code encourages use of wind tunnelmodel testing, analytical tools and reference to

specialist advice when wind induced oscillations of thestructure reach significant proportions. [Clause 7.1]gives guidelines for the assessment of dynamic effectsof wind. It is to be noted that the Strouhal number fornon-circular bodies [7.2] is usually slightly less thanthat for circular bodies.

6 GUST FACTOR (GF) OR GUSTEFFECTIVENESS FACTOR (GEF) METHOD [8]

6.1 One doubt that may arise during a comparativestudy of [Table 33] to find hourly mean wind speed,and peak gust multiplier from nable 2] is the absenceof the class of structure that is its size in [Table 33].However, further study will show that the variable $takes into account the building size [8.3 and Fig. 8].

The Code says that the use of random response methodfor across wind response of structures of non-circularcross-sections have not matured and hence are notgiven in the Code. Some users may find small dif-ferences in the graph for E [Fig. 11] and those in someother codes. Because of the local short period intensenature of wind in most parts of our country, the calcu-lated gust factors as per the Indian Code will be foundto be generally slightly higher than in other codeswhich are based on the turbulence characteristics ofthe ‘steady’ fully developed pressure system wind.

6.2 A1ong-Wind Loads [8.3]

The use of gust factor approach has been permitted bythe Code for the evaluation of along-wind load.

The calculations involved for the estimation of along-wind load have been reduced to a simple equationgiven below:

FZ=Cf. AepZ~ G ...(11) [8.3]

whereF, = along-wind static loading at height z, applied

on effective frontal area Ae of strip underconsideration,

Pz’ = design pressure at height z corresponding tohourly wind speed, and

G = gust factor.

One of the important departures for along-winddynamic effects as compared to static effects is toapproach the problem of design pressure evaluationfrom the route of hourly wind instead of short durationgusts as one is required to do for application up to [6].[Table 33] indicates the revised factors k2which haveto be applied to the basic wind speed (short durationgusts) of [Fig. 1] for arriving at the hourly mean windspeed and consequently the corresponding designpressures, pz’.

The gust factor G, which depends on natural frequen-cy, size and damping of the structure and on the windcharacteristics can be evaluated directly fromparametem obtained from graphs given in [Fig. 8 to 11].

6.3 Across-Wind Loads

The Code points out that the method of evaluatingacross-wind and other components of structuralresponse to wind loading are fairly complex and havenot as yet reached a stage where successful codifica-

SP64(S8ZT):2001

tion can be attempted. It recommends use of windtunnel model studies and specialist advice in caseswhere significant across-wind loads are anticipated.

7 WIND TUNNEL MODEL STUDIES [1 and 7]

The Code recommends that model studies in wind tun-nels lx resorted to under several conditions. These are:

i)

ii)

iii)

for structures of unconventional shapes, un-usual locations and abnormal environmentalconditions, not covered in the Code [1.1.3,Note 1];certain wind induced dynamic responseproblems [7.1, Notes 2 and 9]; andbuildings or shapes for which more accuratedata or conflation of existing data is required.

Unlike in some foreign codes, no guidelines have beenprescribed for properly carrying out such studies orlimitation of model studies including those due toReynolds number etc. The mason appears to be thatthere are very few suitable wind tunnels in our country.However, since the existing ones are being improvedand four to five new wind tunnels are likely to comeup in the next 3 to 5 years, it is in order to discuss this.

It is now well recognized that wind load on a structure(static or dynamic) depends on:

i)ii)

iii)

Variations of mean velocity Uo,with height;Variation of the intensity of turbulence

*

with hei ht, the intensity being defined as

where u’, v’ and w’ are the

departure of the velocity at any time along x,yand z axes, respectively, from Vo, andthe ‘scale’ of turbulence, which is a measure ofthe size of coherent blobs of flow, usuallyswirls of various sizes, called ‘eddies’.

The above is not an exhaustive list, but is generallyadequate for consideration. Creation of the meanvelocity distribution in a wind tunnel is a relativelysimple task and about half a dozen methods are avail-able for doing it. However, care has to be exercisedwith regard to the simulation of (ii) and (iii). Some-times, it is stated that the intensity of distribution ofturbulence and scale must be the same as values scaleddown from that in the atmosphere. This maybe accept-able for sharp edged bodies whose properties do notdepend on the Reynolds number. But the force coeffi-cients on rounded surface bodies depend strongly onReynolds number and while the spectra must be simu-lated, the intensities may have to be different, to ensurethat force coefficients are not measured in the forcebucket (see data for R, between 4 x 105 and 2 x 106 in[Fig. 5] which shows the ‘buck~t’).

The above discussions lead to the followingguidelines for wind tunnel model studies.

The variation of the mean velocity with heighthas to be modelled, to within 2.0 percent to3.0 percent.The longitudinal component of turbulence in-tensity, particularly, has to be modelled suitab-ly to ensure that the non-dimensional spectralenergy n.S.(n)/ cr. has the same variation withrespect to n.L.#VZ as in the atmosphere, espe-cially around the natural frequency (or fre-quencies) of the structure.The model dimension along the wind shouldnot exceed three times the longitudinal scale ofturbulence. This requirement helps in fulfilling(ii) to some extent.All scaling laws used to extrapolate modelresults to full scale, incorporate establishedReynolds number effect correlations and suchcorrections as may seem necessary should beapplied. It is worth stating that the instrumenta-tion chain used must have adequate responsecharacteristics.

9 ASSESSMENT OF WIND LOADS ON BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES

9.1 Pressure Coefficient Method

9.1.1 Stepwise computation of wind load using Peak Gust Method is as under

Step 1. Design Wind Speed (VZ) [5.3]

topography factor [5.3.3].

Step 2. Design Wind Pressure (pZ) [5.4]

P. = 1/2p VZ2

where

P = the density of air and its value is 1.2 kg/m3.

Step 3. Wind Load Calculation [6.2.1]

The wind load on individual structural elements such as roofs, walls, individual cladding units and their fittingsis calculated by accounting the pressure difference between opposite faces of these elements or units and isgiven by:

F=

where

surface area of structural element or cladding, and

design wind pressure.

Values of CPeand C~ifor different types of roofs, walls of different types of buildings are given in [Tables 4 to22].

Step 4. Estimation of Frictional Drag (F’) [63.1]

Depending upon the d/h or d/b ratio of rectangular clad buildings additional drag force given by Eqn. 16 or 17is added to the force given by [6.2].

if hSb F= C~(d–4h) b.pd+C~(d–4h) 2h.pd ...(16)

h > b F = C; (d – 4b) b.p~ + C; (d – 4b) 2h.p~ ...(17)

Values of C~ are given in [6.3.1] for different surfaces.

Wind Load Calculation

F = (cPe - CPi)A.p~ [6.2.1, Tables 4 and5]

Internal Pressure Coetllcients (CPi)

Since openings are given as 5-20 percent of the wall areas, the value of C~i = M1.5[623 and 6.2.3.2]

The sign will depend on the direction of flow of air relative to the side of openings.

External Pressure Coefficients on Roof (CJ

The CPefor various sectors of the roof excluding the overhangs, are given in Fig. 16(a) and Table 7 as per[Table 5]. For Ww= 3.5/10 = 0.35, which is <0.5.

External pressure coefficients are recommended as equivalent to nearby local pressure coefficients

–1 .2, other than comer 1However, for wind ward side of overhang the equivalent CPi(underside of roof surface) is +1.25 while onlee-ward side of overhang the CPiis equal to the Cw of adjoining wall.

Design Pressure Coeffkients on Roof (External)

CP(net) = CP – C@, are calculated for cladding (local pressure coeftlcients are given separately). The CPcalculations are summarized as follows:

If CPi= +0.5;

When 0 = OO;

CP(for region E and F)= -0.9- (0.5)= -1.4

CP(for region G and H)= -0.4- (0.5)= -0.9

When 9 = 90°;

CP(for E and G) = -0.8- (0.5)= -1.3

CP(for F and H) = -0.4- (0.5)= -0.9

If CPi= -0.5;

When 9 = OO;

CP(for E and F)= –0.9 – (-0.5) = -0.4

CP(for G and H)= 4,4- (-0.5)= +0.1

When f3= 90°;

CP(for E and G)= -0.8 – (-0.5) = -0.3

CP(for F and H) = -0.4- (-0.5)= +0.1

The CPvalues for various sectors of roof are given in Fig. 16(b).

Page 40: Is 875   wind load

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

The wind may come from either direction and opening may be on any side, hence the highest CPvalue for allzones of cladding is considered as –1.4 outward and+ 0.1 inward. Design will have to be checked for both thesepressures.

Design Pressure Coefficients on Roof (Local)

CP,local is negative everywhere. Depending on wind direction C~ican be +ve or –ve. Positive value of C~iwillincrease CP(net),which is to be considered for calculation of wind loads. The values of local CPare summarizedin Fig. 16(c).

Design Pressure Coeftlcients on Walls [6.2.2.1 and Table 4]

In this case h/w= 0.35 and VW= 1.8

— For these values of h/w and l/w [Table 4], the value of CP as per Codal provisions are given inFig. 16(d).

Value of CPiis the same as before = t 0.5

The CPcalculations are summarized below:

If CPi= +0.5;

When 6 = OO;

CP(for Wall A) = 0.7 – (0.5) = 0.2

CP(for Wall B) = –0.25 - (0.5) = -0.75

CP(for Wall C) = –0.6 – (0.5) = –1.1

CP(for Wall D) = -0.6- (0.5)= -1.1

When 0 = 90°;

CP(for Wall A) = -0.5- (0.5) = -1.0

CP(for Wall B) = -0.5 – (0.5) = –1.0

CP(for Wall C) = 0.7- (0.5) = +0.2

CP(for Wall D) = -0.1 – (0.5) = -0.6

If Cpi = ‘0.5;

When 8 = O“;

CP(for Wall A) = 0.7- (-0.5) = 1.2

CP(for Wall B) = –0.25 - (-0.5) = +0.25

CP(for Wall C) = –0.6 – (–0.5) = -0.1

CP(for Wall D) = –0.6 – (4.5) = -0.1

When O= 90°;

CP(for Wall A) = –0.5 – (-0.5) = 0.0CP(for Wall B) = -0.5 – (–0.5) = 0.0

CP(for Wall C) = +0.7 – (-0.5) = +1,2CP(for Wall D) = -0.1- (-0.5)= +0.4

The above CPvalues for walls are based on wind directions of (3= 0° and 0 = 90°. But with change of angle ofattack of wind, position of A–B and C–D get interchanged. Hence, maximum CPvalues for walls A or B = +1.2(and -1.0) and for walls C or D = +1.2 (and -1.1) are to be considered for the design of walls.

The comers of walls experience more force for which local <P is specified as under CP(Comer) = -1.0 -(+0.5)= –1.5 or -0.5. Hence, the four comers of the building for width of 0.25w that is 2.50 m are to be designed forCP=-1.5

Computation of Frictional Drag [6.3 and 6.3.1]

For rectangular clad buildings when &h or &b >4 and h < b frictional drag force F’ (acting in the direction ofwind, for (3=90° and 270°) is given by

F’= c; (d - 4h) b.pd + c; (d-4h) 2 h.pd(drag on roof) (drag on walls)

Here, d=l=18m; b=w=lOm; h=3.5 m

C;= 0.01 (since external surface of walls is smooth)

Frictional Drag on Roof

= 0.01 (18 – 4 X 3.5)10 X 1 183.88= 473.55 N

Frictional Drag on Walls

=0.01 (18–4x3.5) 2x3.5 X 1 183.88= 331.50N

Total Frictional Drag = 805.05 N

The frictional drag on various structural components is to be distributed such that the first l/3rd windwardportion (6 m) should be able to resist half of frictional drag alongwith other loads and rest 2/3rd lee-wardportion (12 m) should be able to resist other half of frictional drag, on roof as well as on walls separately.

Final design pressure coefficient for cladding, fmtures etc, are given in Fig. 16 (e-g) and force calculationsare as follows:

Forces for regions other than local regions (for cladding and fixtures) considering higher value of CPfromFig. 16(e). Negative values mean that the roof or wall is being pushed outwards or upwards.

Force per unit area for roof when CP= –1.4

= -1.4x 1.0x 1183.88 = –1 657.43 N/m2

Force per unit area for longitudinal walls when CP= + 1.2

= 1.2x 1.0x 1 183.88= 1420.66 N/m2

Force per unit area for cross walls when CP= + 1.2= 1420.66 N/m2

Forces for local regions (for cladding and fixtures) are given in Fig. 16(f).

Forces for design of main frames etc.

For the design of main frames various load cases are given in Fig. 16(g). The values given inside the frame areto be used for calculating lateral force transferred from the side walls C or D. The frictional drag is to be takenappropriately alongwith these forces.

COMMENTS

(i) Each component located in a region is to be designed for the forces acting on it.(ii) The fasteners on cladding may be concentrated in the region of high wind pressure as shown in

Fig. 16(h).

It is to be noted that these values are the maximum coeficientsfor which the roof in thatportion shall be designed,regardless of the direction of wind. It is assumed that the under pressure on the side overhangs He and Le will

experience an upward force of 1.25, as also the overhang beyond L1 and ~, for some wind direction (for windfrom 180° in the latter case). Also that regions HzandLzare absent in the present example. Since the extent ofregion (Hl + .HJ is equal to W, the width of the structure is W = lJ2.

Design Pressure Coefficients on Roof

CP(net)= Cp. – Cpi,k calculated for different direction of wind as given below :

For 0 = OO;CP(region H) = –0.8 – (0.8) = –1.6CP (region J!,)= -0.5- (0.8)= -1.3

For 0 = 45°;CP(H)= -1.0- (0.8)= –1.8CP(L)= -0.6 – (0.8) = –1.4

For Cl= 90°;CP(windward 4 m) = -0.9- (-0.5) = –0.4CP(rest of the portion)= -0.5 – (-0.5) = 0.0

Fore = 135°;Cp (H)= -0.5 – (–0.4) = -0.1Cp(L)= -1.0 – (-0.4) = -0.6

For(3 = 180°;Cp(H)= -0.2- (–0.4) = +0.2Cp(L)= -1.0- (-0.4)= -0.6

It is clear from the above calculations that CPfor region H is –1.8 @ = 45°) and +0.2@= 180°) and for regionL is -1.4 @ = 450).

Local Design Pressure Coefflcienta on Roof

The net pressure coefficients on the edges of the roof and overhangs are shown in Fig. 17(b),

Pressure Coeftlcients on Walls [6.2.2.1 andTable 4]

Since one of the walls is open, some care has to be exercised in assessing the internal and external pressure onwalls. The internal pressures are to be taken from [Fig. 3], for the case B/L< 1.0. The external pressures for thesolid walls as well as the pressures in the local region at the comers are to be taken from the appropriate casesof [Table 4]. The external pressures for the case hlw = 1/2 and Uw= 2.0 are shown in Fig. 17(c). Taking theinternal pressure from [Fig. 3], the net pressure on the wall is given in Fig. 17(d). Design must be checked forall the wind loadings conditions (positive and negative) and for each wind direction. CPfor comers of wall aregiven in Fig. 17(e).

Since &h or db is not greater than 4, the building will not experience frictional drag.

Example 3. The rectangular clad building of Example 2 has been considered to be situated on a hill having aslope of 9.5° on one side and 19.(Y on the other with walls on all sides with opening less than 5 percent [5.3.3.1and Appendix C].

Given:

The approximate features of topography are given in Fig. 18.

The building is located at 40 m from mean ground level.

The slopes on either side of crest are greater than 3°, hence it is considered as hill.

In such cases, the total methodology of solution remains the same except that the value of ks is to becalculated as per [Appendix C].

The rest of the procedure is similar to those used for Example 2 except that the pressure on all the walls shallbe taken from [Table 4] only (not on three walls only) and the internal pressure shall be taken as recommendedin [6.2.3], one observes that the internal pressure coefficient can be either +0.2 or -0.2 and the value whichproduces greater distress must be considered for design.

Some care is required in assessing the under pressure on the comer pressure E2 and Es. They are taken asequivalent to ‘sloping downwards’ [6.2.2.7] for wind coming from Et= 90°, to be conservative. Portion El,definitely slopes upwards for wind at (3= 0° and E6 slopes downwards for wind at e = 180°. These lead to thefollowing design pressures forE, and Eb = (- 1.8- 0.75) = -2.55, Ez to Es = -2.0-1.25 = -3.25. The shear onthe foundation is observed to be maximum at 0 = W.

Since openings are less than 20 percent of wall area the vrdue of CPi= t 0.5

External Pressure Coefficient [6.2.2.6 and Table 16]

Since the values of pressure coefficients are given in [Table 16] for roof angles of 5°, 10°,20° ...... the valuesof CP for ct = 12° are obtained by interpolating between the values at a = 10° and tx= 20°.

The frictional drag force is given by

F = C; (d - 4h) b.p~ + C: (d - 4h) 2h.p~drag on roof drag on wall

Here C;= 0.02 for corrugated sheets as external surface with corrugations across the wind direction ,

The frictional drag force on various structural elements is distributed such that 50 percent of this frictional dragis resist by windward l/3rd length (33.33 m) alongwith other loads and balance 50 percent force by rest 2/3rdlength (66.67m) in each direction (1= 90° and 270°.

Example 12. Estimation of design wind pressure on glass glazings.

The determination of equivalent static wind pressure on large glazing has been the subject of considerable studyever since the failure of such glazing on the Kennedy Memorial Building in Boston, USA. It is recognised thatsuch large glazing experience three types of wind loads, all additive, namely:

(i) a static wind load due to a wind speed averaged over a specified time interval,

(ii) a random dynamic wind load due to turbulence in the wind, and

(iii) a resonant wind load due to resonant excitation of the vibration of the panel by the energy of theturbulent fluctuations at the natural frequency of the panel.

Generally speaking, the resonant component can be neglected if the natural frequency of the panels is more thanabout 250 Hz. For design purposes, the information from experimental and theoretical studies have been codifiedinto equivalent steady design wind pressure, in which all of the three wind load components stated above arealready added appropriately.

Although the design wind pressure can be worked out for each level of a building, it is recommended that thepressure corresponding to the top level as well as those at the comers be adopted for all lower levels. There aretwo main reasons for this recommendation:

First — The assumed need to standardize the thickness of the glass at all places.

Second—The effect of failure of a panel at any height. Such failure may increase the internal pressure coefficientto positive like 0.8 due to free passage of air into the building as against the maximum value of 0.2 for buildingwith no windows. Such increase of internal pressure may bring about the failure of other panels to which thehigh internal pressure may be communicated by the passages inside the building.

To illustrate, take an example of a square cross-section sealed building just outside New Delhi of height 50.0 mand sides of 15.0 m each, in terrain category 2 and with no windowslopenings.

Design Wind Speed [5.3]

VZ = V~.kl.k2.k~k, = 1.07, since failure of glass panel is hazardous [Note 2 of 6.2]kz = 1.17, though the size of building is 50 m but the panel size will be less than 20 m, hence the panel is

considered as Class A and corresponding value has been picked up from [Table 2]kx = 1.00VZ = 47x 1.07x 1.17x 1.00 =58.84 m/s

Design Wind Pressure

pZ = 0.6 (VZ)2 = 0.6 (58,84)2=2 077.24 N/m2

Since the building is without windows, as per [6.2.3.1], the internal pressure coefficient=* 0.2.

Also, (3/2) c (h/w)< 6 and lC (Vw) c (3/2)

Considering that glazing is provided at a distance of less than 0.25 times the width of wall from the comer, asper [Table 4] the external local pressure coefficient of –1 .20 will govern the design even with minimum internalpressure of+ 0.2; resulting in a net pressure coefficient of –1 .4. This gives a design pressure for glazing

p~=2077.24 x 1.4=2 908.13 N/m2

9.1.3 Preliminary Explanation with Regard to Structures with Free Roofs [Covered by Tables 8 to 14]

[Tables 8 to 14] refer to roofs with open bays on all sides, [Table 8] applies to roofs with (Ww) lying between0.25 and 1.0 and (L/W) lying between 1 and 3. Modifications to the roof pressures due to obstructions are to beapplied. When the length of the canopy is large, then [Tables 9 to 14] have to be used, if (b/d) = 5.0 or nearabout. In such cases [Tables 9 and 10] imply that the average pressures will have to be worked out for portionsof the roof for wind angles of 0°,45°, 90° and 0°,45°,90°, 135° and 180° when there is obstruction on one side.For example [Tables 9 and 10] give separate pressure on one quarter leeward area of roof, designated as J, at6 = 45°. [Tables 11 and 12] are to be used if the canopy is inclined at 30°. In case (b/d) is substantially morethan 5.0 and roof angle is other than those given in the Code, it is better to commission wind tunnel model studies.

,,. .

i’

Frictional force shall be considered when the roof area is larger in [Tables 9 to 14], compared to the area in[Table 8]. The friction force is to be distributed such that half of the friction force acts on the windward l/3rd

80

Page 89: Is 875   wind load

1SP 64 (S & T) :2001

1 of the surface and the other half on the leeward 2/3rd surface. The forces may be considered to act at the midplane of these portions.

It The definition of the height ‘h’ given in [Table 8] for positive and negative roof angles must be carefully noted.It is not the height to the lowest point of the canopy for both positive and negative roof angles.

I

The definition of the width is that of the main canopy only and will not include the facia if they are inclined andIextend beyond the edge of the main canopy.

iCase A — No obstructionw’stored material below the canopy

I[Table 8, read with 6.2.2.4], gives the overall roof pressures of the canopy. The columns, trusses and foundationsIare to be checked for these loads. It is to be noted that the Code gives only the force coefficients in the direction

I of wind as 1.3 for the facia implying that only a facia of angle 90° (that is, a vertical facia) is covered in theCode. If the facia has an angle other than 90°, the loads can be significantly higher and values based on wind

rtunnel model studies or conservative values based on the loads of roof overhangs of buildings [6.2.2.2 and Table5] maybe used. If a number of such canopies are being built, it is more economical to get model studies madein wind tunnel to know accurate loadings.

Case B — Obstructions/stored material below the canopy

Here, the solidity ratio as defined in [6.2.2.4] has to be found. This is obviously the ratio of the height ofthe obstruction to the total height of the canopy. As indicated in [6.2.2.4 and Table 8], the positivepressure is not affected by the obstruction but the negative pressure upstream of the obstruction getsmodified. The horizontal force coefficient of 1,3 on the vertical canopy is introduced only on thewindward canopy.

The pressures at the corners A, B, C, D are shown at the higher value of –3,0 in line with some of the new findingsand in the absence of a specific clarification on this point in the Code. It may be noted that as per the Code, thedesign cannot be checked for opposite pressures on the two arms on the canopies also.

Force Calculations

The force on ridgeltrough induced by individual slopes is as follows:

F = Cp(overall) x A x p~ (where A = Area of one side roof)

= –0.82 X 2.5X10X 878.53= –18 009.86 N

F= +0.7 (2.5x 10)x 878.53= 15374.28 N acting on centre of roof,that is (2.5/2 = 1.25 m) away from the trough, acting normal to the surface

Total upward force on support structure= 2 x (-18 009.86)=–36019.72 N = -36.02 kN (upward)

Total downward force

F= 2 X (15 374.28)=30 748.56 N = 30.75 N

Maximum moment induced on support structure is when one side roof experiences thrust and other side roofexperiences suction.

Hence the moment at top of support due to vertical component of wind= (-18 009.86X 1.25-15 374.28X 1.25) COS20°= -41729.1 cos 20°=39212.53N-m

9.2 Force Coeftlcient Method [6.3]

9.2.1 In the Force Coefficient method the total wind load F on a particular building or structure as whole isgiven byF= Cp A.. p~whereCf = force coefficient,A,= effective frontal area of building or structure, and

p~ = design wind pressure.

The Code specifies, different values of force coefficients for different faces of a building. Since the designpressure varies with height, the surface area of building/structure be sub-divided into strips and appropriatepressures are taken over the strips and calculated individually on the area Ae.

9.2.2 Force Coefficients for Clad Buildings [6.3.2]

[Figure 4] gives the values of the Force Coefficients for rectangular clad buildings of uniform section with flatroofs depending upon the Mb and a/b values while [Table 23] gives the value for other clad buildings of uniformsection.

9.2.2.1 Force coefficients for circular sections [6.3.2.2]

Though the Code specifies that Force Coefficients for circular cross-section buildings be taken from [Table23], yet for a precise estimate for infinite length [Fig. 5] may used which accounts for the surface roughness ‘E’and in case the length of the structure is finite the Force Coefficient is modified by a multiplication factor of K.

9.2.2.2 Force coeficientsfor walls and hoardings

Earlier it was thought that the maximum wind pressure occurs when the wind direction is at right angles to thesurface. The wind tunnel tests abroad, however, indicated that the maximum net pressure occurs when the windis blowing at approximately 45° to the wall/hoarding. Further, as the width to height ratio of wall increases, thenet normal pressure across the wall, for wind direction normal to the wall, decreases due to the attenuation ofthe pressure fluctuations on the leeward side. Near a free end or corner, there is a large increase in load foroblique wind directions blowing on the free end specially at higher width/height ratios. In case, an adjacent wallis running at right angle to the free end the net load near the corner reduces considerably.

In case of hoardings the pressure tends to be a little higher due to the wind flow under the hoarding. When thegap underneath the hoarding. The Code, therefore, recommends in [Table 24] the value of Cffor hoardings/wallsofs 15 m with Vwious bfi ratios, if resting on the ground or above tie groundataheight20.25 h (b and h are

the width and the height of the wall/hoarding respectively).

9.2.3 Force Coefficients for Unclad Buildings

The Code [6.3.3] specifies the values of Force Coefficients for permanently unclad buildings and for frameworks of buildings which are temporarily unclad like roof trusses and frame works of multistoreyed build-ings/factories during erection.

9.2.4 Force Coefficients for Individual Members

For individual members of infinite length the Force Coefficients are to be taken from [Table 23] and for finitelength members depending upon the Z/dor Ubvalues to be modified by a multiplication factor K as before. Thesevalues are further modified in case the member abuts onto a plate or wall in such a way that the free flow of airaround that end of the member is prevented. In such cases the Ubvalue is doubled for determining the value ofK. In case the free flow of air is prevented around both ends of the member the value of Ubis = m for calculatingthe value of K.

9.2.4.1 Flat sided members

[Table 26] specifies the values of the Force Coefficients for two mutually perpendicular directions in case offlat sided members when the wind is normal to the longitudinal axis of the member. These are designated as Cf.and Cftrespectively, for normal and transverse directions and are given in [Table 26]. The normal and transverseforces are thus given by the following two relations:

SP 64 (S & T) :2001

9.2.4.2 Circular sections

The values of Force Coefficients for such members are to be calculated as explained in 9.2.2.1.

9.2.4.3 Wires and Cables

In the case of wires and cables the values of Force Coefficients are dependent on diameter, surface roughnessand the design wind speed. The Force Coefficients for such members are to be taken from [Table 27].

9.2.5 Open Plane Frames

Single and mutiple open frames are covered in [6.3.3.3 and 6.3.3.4]. Depending upon the solidity ratio ‘~’,ForceCoefficients data is divided into three categories as:

a) All flat sided members;

b) All circular members having either

i) DVd<6 m2/s

ii) DV~ > 6m2/s

c) Frames with both flat and circular members.

The values of the Force Coefficients are given in [Table 28]. In case of mutiple parallel frames, the windwardframes have a shielding effect on the leeward frames. The wind force on the windward frames or any unshieldedpart of the leeward frames is computed using [Table 28] but the wind load on fully shielded or partly shieldeddepends upon the effective solidity ratio and the frame spacing of the windward frame. [Table 29] gives theShielding Factor ‘q’ in terms of Effective Solidity Ratio ‘~’ and the frame spacing ratio.

9.2.6 Lattice Towers

The data in [6.3.3.5] for overall Force Coefficients for wind blowing into the face of the lattice tower vis-a-visSolidlty Ratio ‘$’ is divided as undec

a) Square towers with flat members,

b) Square towers with rounded members, and

c) Equilateral triangular towers with rounded members.

In case of square towers with flat members, wind is also to be considered blowing into a comer of the tower;for which purpose the Code recommends a multiplying factor of 1.2 for the wind blowing into the face.

The value of Cfin the case is 1.7 on one edge and 0.44 on another edge [Fig. 30 (a)].

For overall forces, Cf is to be considered average of these two values, that is, Cf (average) = 1.284

However, the pressure distribution on the hoarding is given in [Fig. 30 (b)] alongwith the eccentricity of the force.

NOTE — The static forceof3547. 11N due to oblique incidence of wind at an eccentricity of 0.25 m from the center of hoarding sheetis to be considered for design of support. The pressure varies on hoarding sheet from maximumof2254.24 N/mz at edges to1085.13 N/mz near central portion, with average pressure of 945.90 N/m*.

Though dynamic wind force may not be experienced by such low structure, the large hoarding may get twisted in strong winds andtearing of sheets may occur near the edges if not designed propwly. Hence, the large hoarding may be braced (in its plane) suitably andmay be stiffened in normal direction (Perpendicular to the plane of hoarding).

Total shear at base= 127+ 1 336.26x 3.075 = 4.236 kN/m length

Calculation of Stresses at Base

Total weight of masonry at base= 17.275x (3.225x1x 0.345)= 19.22 kN/m width of wall

Bending stress caused by vertical bending produced at base on extreme edge= 6M/bd2=6x7073.44/1 x 0.3452= 0.357 N/mm3

Compressive stresses due to weight at base= P/A= 19.22/(1 x 0.345)= 0.055 N/mm2

Maximum tensile stress at extreme fibre for vertical bending= (0.055 - 0.357)= 0.3 N/mm2

Check for Tensile Stress

According to 5.2.3.2 of IS 1905:1980 ‘Code of practice for structural safety of buildings: Masonry walls (secondrevision)’, permissible tensile stress for freestanding vertical walls in vertical bending is 0.07 N/mm2. However,the tensile stress at base of wall at ground level amounts to 0.3 N/mm2, therefore, exceeds the permissible value.The base width of wall is to be increased for tensile stress design. The thickness of wall at various heights isgiven by:

t==h 44008.78 +(7X 104+ 17275h)

Thustatheight 1 m from top= 0.214 mtatheight 2 m from top= 0.392 mtatheight 3 m from top= 0,544 m

NOTES

1 The tensile stress criteria may govern the design. For preliminary design the following formula maybe used to catculate the watlthickness at a height for prismatic walls not exceeding 10 m in height.

r= h J(3 X CfWXfJd) + (7 x 104+ P@)

where

t = thickness wall in m,h = height of section from top of wall (m),CfW=force coefficient for wall,Pd = design wind pressure, andPp = mass density of masonry.

2 The permissible tensile stress in masonry is based on assumption that the mortar used is not leaner than Ml (US = 1/5).

3 Though [Table 1] considers mean probable design life of 5 years for boundary watls but the designer may decide higher k, factor asgiven in [Note of Table 1]dependkrg upon the irnportartcegiven to the structure such as security wall where mean probable design lifemay be taken as 25 years.

As per [6.2.3.1] , the permeability of completed tank may be less than 5 percent and corresponding CPi = t 0.2but during fabrication a stage may come when opening on roof etc maybe equivalent to open ended cylinder.In such a situation for Wd = 0.6 as per [6.2.2.8] CPi=- 0.8. However, there can bean inside positive pressure of+0.7 [6.2.3.2] during construction phase. However, if the tank is pressurized for whatever reason, the workingpressure must be taken for CPi.The design should be checked with C i = -0.8 as long as there is no roof. Once

J“the placing of the roof begins, the internal pressure, should be chang m accordance with [6.2.3.2]. This meanspositive internal pressures of 0.7 can be expected.

Design Wind Pressure at Various Heights (pz= Z)

For calculating design wind pressure at various elevations of the tank only ~ will change and accordingly pZ atith elevations have been computed below,

Overall Horizontal Force on Tank and Shaft [6.3.2.1 and 6.3.2.2]

In the case of such appurtenances which ‘Stand’ on another structure, one is confronted with the problem offinding the height to diameter ratio. There is no guideline in the Code as to how such situations are to be handled.A reasonable approach is to take an imagintiy plane at half the height and assume that the airflows symmetrically(or bifurcates symmetrically) about this plane so that this plane can be considered as a virtual ground. Then theheight to be considered is H/2 and diameter is D and the suitable value of height to diameter ratio is (H/2D) , Inthis problem, we have to consider H/2D = 9/(2 x 13)= 0.346.

F = CPAe.p~ [from Table 23 for circular section]V&b 26 and rough surfaceFor tank, H/D = 0.346 which is less than 0.5 and hence, Cf = 0.7

For the shaft, the presence of the wide water tank at the top and the ground at the bottom, may be viewed asmaking the air flow two dimensional that is H/D for the shaft+ CO.Hence it is appropriate to take, Cf = 1.2 forthe rough shaft.

(25.25 m to 27.00 m height) = 0,7X (13.0/2)X 1406.11= 6397.80 N

[Appendix D] and its note also specify the value of Cf for circular sections and the procedure is as under. It isto be noted that the pressure at the nearest nodal point of [Table 2] above the region is to be used.

The value of the force coefficient given in [Table 23] for circular cross-section may not appear to be consistentwith the values read from [Fig. 5], and corrected for height to diameter ratio as per the recommendations in[Table 25]. It will be observed that in general the values in [Table 23] are higher even if one assumes that thevalues at finite H/D are those corresponding to the use of multipliers in [Table 25] on the values at H/D + CO.However, from the wording in [Table 23], it is clear that the roughness envisaged in [Table 23] includesdeliberately made small projections, possibly from architectural considerations. This case is not considered in[Fig. 5] The word ‘Smooth’ in [Table 23] really means in this problem E/D= 0,05x 10-5 of [Fig. 5] (for theforce coefficient of 0.6 at H/D + 00). For a diameter of 13.0 m, this means that the combined deviations/rough-ness of surface must be less than 0.65 mm, which is not likely to be achieved in construction.

If the surface is stipulated to be smooth with no fluting or projections, designer may take the values in [Fig. 5]instead of values in [Table 23], taking the multiplier as 0.8 for H/D e 2.0. In the present problem the forcecoefficients then will be 0.64 for tank and 0.8 for shaft.

Example 20. Consider the circular tank of Example 19 to be supported on 16 columns of 45 cm diameter @22.5° radially with a radius of 4.5 m. Other parameters remain unchanged (Fig. 34).

As in the previous problem, the height to maximum width can be taken as 3.0 and hence no dynamic analysis[7.1] is needed.

Force on roof of the dome [6.2.2.9 and Table 19]

Since tank rests on columns, it is covered under Case (d) of [Table 19]

H=9.0m, Z=27.0m, D=13.0mand (2YH-1)=2;The value of CP = -0.75 (for roof) and= -0.6 (for bottom).Since, openings are less than 5 percent, C~i = * 0.2

Force on staging [6.3, 6.3.3 and 6.3.3.3, Table 28]

Consider the columns as a frame around a periphery and using [6.3.3.3, Table 28]

No. of columns = 16 D.V~ >6 m/s2

Total gap between cylindrical columns (Fig. 34) is

s = [ro sin zz.s”–~ll+{[~.sin45° –~11–[~.sin22.5°+ rll }+ ([r. sin67.5°–rll-[r-()sin 45° + r,] }+( [r. sin 90°-rl] - [r. sin 67.5°+ rl] }

There is no gap for air flow between the columns at El= 90° and El= 67.5°Hence net gapg = rt)sin 67.5° – 6r1 = 4.5 sin 67.5°– 6 x 0.225 = 2.807 m

Solid area = 9.45 – 2.807 = 6.643 m2

Solidity mtio ($)= 6.643/9.45= 0.70

Force coefficient (by interpolation) on wind facing columns= 1.28

Overall Forces on Staging

There is no specific guideline in the Code for finding out the force coefficient for such shielded configuration.A conservative approach is to note that gap flow occurs only for t3 up to 67.5 and hence the ‘frame spacing’as per [6.3.3.4 ] is likely to be closer to unity. The range of values for @r and ~ in [ Fig. 7 ] does not coverthe situation here. Hence, it is conservative to take ‘effective solidity’ as 0.7 and ‘frame spacing ratio’ as 1.0in [ Table 29 ] which yields a shielding factor of 0.6. Hence total force coefficient, Cf = 1.28 + 1.28 x 0.6– 1.28 (1 + 0.6) = 2.048 for combined effect qf windward as well as leeward colums. Here, exposed area, A, is—

6.643 m2 per m length of staging. The wind induced force per unit length of staging FZ = Ct . A. . P~, iscalculated as follows.

FOI- FZ (0.0 m to 10 m height) = 2.048 x 6.643 x 1026.39 = 13963.9 N/mFor F, (10 m to 15 m height) = 2.048x 6.643 x 1171.12 = 15932.93 N/mFor FZ (15 m to 18 m height) = 2.048x 6.643x 1272.91 = 17317.77 N/m

NOTE— Most of the time the columns of the staging are braced with cross-beams. The design of the beam should be able to withstandthe wind loads imposed on it, Special attention is required in detailing of the junction of the beam and the column, For calculation offorces on beams let us consider cross-beams of size 450 mm (depth) and 300 mm (width) which are placed at a vertical sp~cing 013 m. It is more appropriate to adopt a value of Cf from [ Fig. 4A.]. The beam can be considered having parameters as u = 300 mm,b = 450 mm, a / b = 0.67 and n = distance between two columns = r d 8 = 4.5 x 22.5 x 11/180= 1767 mm, It may be noted that theends of the cross-beam are obstructed by columns, therefore, from [ 6.3.3.2 a (ii)] the value of h/b =coisto be adopted. Correspondinglyfrom [Fig, 4A] Cl for windward area is 2.75 and considering the effect of shielded leeward portion the total Cf= 2,75x (1 + 0,6)= 4,4The exposed area of the beam all around the staging at an elevation = area of one beam ( that as half perimeter x width) – area coveredby columns = 0,45 x 11 x 4,5 – 0.45 x 6.643 = 3.372 m2. Therefore, the overall forces acting on a cross-beam spanning all around~he staging at an elevation ‘z’ is given by

For Fz (0.0 m to 10 m height) = 4.4x 3.372x 1026.39= 15228.34 NFor F, (10 m to 15 m height) =4.4x 3.372x 171.12= 17375.67 N

Forces on Each Cross-beam Spanning Two Columns

For calculation of forces on a cross-beam spanning two consecutive columns, the exposed area Ae = 1.0 x 0.45= 0.45 n12/m and Cf = 2.75. Correspondingly forces are as follows:For FZ(0.0 m to 10 m height) = 2.75 x 0.45 x 1 026.39= 1270,16 N/m.For Fz (10 m to 15 m height) =2.75 x 0.45 x 1 171.12= 1449.26 N/m.

Previous Code [1S 875:1964] [Fig 1A]

pZ=210 kgf/m2 = 1960.7 N/m2 at 30 m height,

Present Code [1S 875 (Part 3) : 1987]

As per [7.1] of this Code, since the ratio of height to least lateral dimension (40/8) is 5, dynamic analysis isrequired.

v~ = 50 mlsk, = 1.0 [Table 1, N = 50]k2’ = 0.5 [Table 33]kx = 1.0

Design Hourly Mean Wind Speed

V,’ = 50(1.0)(0.5)(1.0)= 25.0 m/s

Design Wind Pressure

P.’ = 0.6 (25.0)2= 375.0 N/m2

Computation of Gust Factor (G) [8.3]

G = 1 +gpr~[B(l +@2+SE/’~]

For the present case, from [Fig. 8]

gf. r= 1.7, L(h)= 1 150m, CY= 10; CZ= 12

Hence, ~= CYb/CZ h = 10(8.0)/12(40.0)= 0.1667

AlsoC, h /L(h) = 12(40.0)/1 150= 0.4174

Background turbulence factor B = 0.76 [Fig. 9]

Calculation of reduced frequency

To calculate this parameter, one needs to know the natural frequency (/) in the ‘first mode’. Using the expression(b) of [Note 1 of 7.1]

T= 0.09H~= 0.09 X 40.0/~= 1.73 S

f= 0.578 Hz

F. [Fig. 10]= Cz~Oh / V(h) = 12(0.578) (40,0)/33.5= 11117

Size reduction factor (S) from [Fig. 10] is 0.15

The parameter,f~ L(h) W(h)= 0.78 x 1 150/33.5= 26.78

The gust energy factor E from [Fig. 11] is then 0.07

Since the height of the building exceeds 25 m in terrain category 3, @ = O [8.3]. With the damping coefficient~= 0.016 [Table 34],

G = 1 + 1.7 [0.76(1 + 0)2+ 0.15(0.07)/0.016}= 1 + 2.519= 3.519

Hence the design wind pressure = 3.023 (375.0)= 1319.7 N/m2 at 40 m height.

Proceeding similarly, the design wind pressure for larger life and other terrains were considered and the resultsare given below at 30 m height

Computation of Gust Factor (G) [8.31

G=l+gPr~[B(l +@)2+SE@l

For the present case, from [Fig. 8]

For 60 m height, gP r= 1.5, L(h)= 1200 m, CY= 10; C,= 12

Hence, ~ = CYb/CZ h = 10(10.0)/12(60.0) = 0.138

AlsoCZh/L(h)= 12(60.0)/1 200= 0.60

Background Turbulence Factor B = 0.77 [Fig. 9]

Calculation of Reduced Frequency

FO[Fig. 10]= CZfJ / V(h) = 12(0.58) (60.0)/25= 16.7

Size reduction factor (S) from [Fig. 10] is 0.28

The parameter f$ L(h)/V(h)= 0.58 x 1200/25= 27.84

The gust energy factor E from [Fig. 11] is then 0.07

Computationof Gust Factor

$ = O [8.3]. With the damping coefficient@= 0.016 [Table 34],

G = 1 + 1.5 ~[0.77 (1 + 0)2+ 0.28 (0.07)/0.016] = 3.11
